HIMALIBUTI WILD CLIFF HONEY – HIGH ALTITUDE HARVEST
The honey
that grows on
cliffs.
Hand-harvested from Apis Laboriosa — the world's largest honeybee — whose hives cling to vertical Himalayan cliffs at 10,000+ ft. Their bees feed on rare medicinal herbs you won't find anywhere else on earth. The honey carries it all.
It's not just honey.
It's what the bees ate.
At 10,000 feet, only the rarest medicinal herbs survive. The cliff bees don't choose between them — they feed on all of them. Every drop of this honey carries traces of plants Western shelves have never seen.
In Ayurveda, this is called "jadibuti madhu" —
herb-infused honey. Medicine the bees made for us.
Five hundred feet of vertical risk.
No farms. No bee boxes. No shortcuts. This honey is collected the way it has been for seven hundred years — by Gurung honey hunters of Nepal, on hand-woven rope ladders, hundreds of feet above the valley floor.
Locate the colony
Honey hunters trek for 2–3 days through forests above 8,000 ft. They locate active Apis Laboriosa hives — massive comb structures clinging to overhanging cliff faces, often only visible by morning sunlight catching the wax.
Scale the cliff face
Hand-woven bamboo and hemp rope ladders — built by the climbing team itself — are anchored at the cliff top. The lead hunter descends, often 500 feet above the ground, with no harness, no helmet, and no safety net.
Smoke and cut the comb
Smoke from burning herbs calms the bees. The hunter slices only a portion of the comb — never the entire hive — into a hand-woven basket lowered from above. The colony rebuilds, and the cliff is left for next season's harvest.
Strain & jar — nothing else
The comb is gravity-strained through cloth at room temperature. No heat. No pasteurization. No additives. What enters the jar is what the bees made — pollen, propolis, wild enzymes, and trace herbs all intact.
Six things this honey
does that store honey can't.
Because the bees ate medicinal herbs, the honey carries them. Each drop is a low-dose extract of the highest plants on earth.
Wild propolis & rhododendron pollen — natural antibacterial compounds Western honey doesn't carry.
Slow-release wild glucose. Sherpas have used cliff honey before high-altitude treks for centuries.
Live enzymes intact — never pasteurized. Soothes acidity, bloating, and inflammation from day one.
Rhododendron-derived flavonoids support healthy blood flow and steady cardiac rhythm.
A spoon in warm milk before bed — Ayurveda's oldest natural sleep aid. No drowsiness, just rest.
High antioxidant load — polyphenols 4× store honey. Apply topical, or take a spoon a day.
Cliff Honey + Shilajit
= the full mountain.
Shilajit comes from the rock. Cliff honey comes from above it. In Ayurveda, honey is "yogavahi" — a carrier that amplifies whatever it's mixed with. Together, they're the most ancient stack on earth.
Store honey vs. cliff honey.
Common questions.
From the cliff —
not from a shelf.
